Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
View MoreThe last show was about a Trump-like real estate developer and his son and daughter who run a major real estate empire. They purposely sabotaged a huge crane to stop work on a high rise and collect the insurance for the delay. In the process the son-in-law is killed and he patriarch passes it off as the cost of doing business. The whole mess was such a desperate anti-Trump diatribe that we were deeply offended. We have largely enjoyed the other three Chicago shows, even though they have gotten too much into Liberal messaging at times, but this one was obviously written by the "Resist" idiots. Dick Wolf can do without us in the audience for any of his shows in the future.
View MoreI find this show a cut above any weekly show. It is well done as in the investigatory team, the scripts are good, there is just enough action and I enjoy, most of all, the courtroom scenes.At this time, it is the only show that I watch on a weekly basis.This surpasses Criminal Minds, a very different type of show that I have watched for many years, again the only regular one but I was skipping episodes.I like the psych. portions of shows. I have an advanced degree in that field so watching Criminal Minds taught me much. I bought Season One of Chicago Police Dept. and watched only one episode and tossed it. There was way too much action, and not enough talking about the facts of each case and how that led them to the target.When I read that this was going to be on weekly and similar but not the same I started to watch it. It is so much better.And,lastly, I saw Jon Seda in the movie Selena and liked his acting and presence in the movie so I looked to see what he was doing and that is how I found this excellent new show. He is a very good actor, self- confident as most of the cast seems to be. Hence, I will continue to be a faithful fan.Addendum:In reading over these reviews, I have to say that another thing this show has is class. Everything is done by the book. Also, I notice there is no vulgarity. It is such a relief to watch a show in which I do not have to cringe every time I hear God's name taken in vain. This is very important to me. I noticed it after watching it just once. Thank you producers and director for this added show of respect for the people and the law.
View MoreThe character played by Carl Weathers almost completely ruins this show. Most of the other characters aren't any better. I had such high hopes for this show, since all the other Chicago series are fantastic, sad to see that Jon Seda moved to this Show. He deserves better than what they are bringing to this show so far.
View MoreChicago Justice's first episode, as opposed to its premiere episode, was Act III of a story arc that involved Chicago Fire and Chicago PD with a significant but uncredited contribution from the cast of Chicago Med. This was a great ploy for creating an audience but the storyline left the cast a bit stranded. Hence, a great deal of Law and Order, the original series, style grandstanding. Chicago Justice feels like the newest colt out of the Wolf Films stable. Given the show has excellent bloodlines, the odds are in favor of self-contained episodes meeting the (L&O) family standard as characters become more defined and story lines are developed that are based on the personal and professional lives of the Chicago Justice cast. Setting a legal drama in The Second City worked for CBS with the Good Wife; here's hoping that with a little more elbow grease and artfulness the toddling town that is home to Second City and the Steppenwolf Theater Company can show the rest of America that not all of the nation's acting and writing talent lives in NYC or LA.
